Less that fifty UW print shop employees belong to the Graphic Communications
International Union, but local 767 has the longest history of any union on
campus. The roots of American labor trace back to the early printers and
typographers unions of the late 18th century. So too, the roots of UW unionism
trace to the efforts of print shop workers to secure representation. And today,
even as the University downsizes its printing services, the members of GCC/IBT
Local 767 know how important their union is.

Local 767M represents printing
trade workers throughout the
Seattle region as well as on the UW campus. There is much information about the
local on its
website. Click the logo
